I do the same. 1/4 tank is actually my fill line. It's more than just an Emergency thing, it sucking dirt and crap into the fuel system from the bottom of the tank thing too. Granted, nowadays fuel pickups on gas tanks, fuel tanks and fuel systems are much better designed than in older cars, but it's a habit I cannot get out of. On the bright side, have never run out of gas.....

That's what I do. Gas stations are plentiful here, so no reason to really not keep gas in the tank. Running out is more poor planning than bad luck.

Something I didn't really take into account when I mentioned I was 'indoctrinated' to always fill at 1/4 tank. |

, always fill up at 1/4 tank. To be honest, i filled up yesterday at 1 dot below the 1/2 mark on my gas guage. Gas was the cheapest it's been all year for my favorite one and only gas i've used in all of our family vehicles for about 15 years now Shell V-power, so i decided to go ahead and fill her up, since my girl Vanity is my weekend toy.
